Organically Grown Flowers in the Hudson Valley
You’ll notice that our post is a little more brief this week. Things are really getting busy on the farm and we have less time in the office these days. We’re watering a ton during this dry spell, planting out thousands of seedlings, keeping a regular weeding schedule and sending out lots of orders for flowers and arrangements! We’ll be sure to keep up with our video updates and featured flowers each week and you can trust that you’ll find the most up-to-date availability list on our website! Also, POPPIES!
With temperatures headed high this week, we’ll be seeing a big change in the season! Cool-loving ranunculus and anemone will stop flowering in the heat, and the last of the tulips were just pulled out of the ground this morning. We’re still expecting to have ranuncs through the week, and maybe the last few next week even, but get your hands on these last bunches before they’re gone for another year. Tulips store beautifully with their bulbs on so we’re hoping to keep those in stock for the next several weeks!
Next up? Our third greenhouse is about to come into production, with sweet-smelling stock, bright-colored snapdragons, and winding sweet peas! Out in the peony fields, we’re seeing lots of buds but are probably at least a couple of weeks out on those.
| Have you heard that this years’ tulip crop is spectacular? Well, we’re happy to report that the weather has been just perfect for this cool loving plant and we’re very grateful to have a BUMPER crop coming in from the fields, just in time for one of the busiest flower weeks of the year, Mother’s Day! Our weekly availability list is now live on the website and we have some really fantastic new varieties coming in, alongside some thoughtful gifts that the mother in your life will LOVE! |
There’s barely a moment to catch a breath this time of year as we prep fields, transplant spring crops, seed summer flowers, and harvest from the greenhouses. For the next couple of weeks we’ll be hauling in truckloads of tulips daily, and planning for Mother’s Day on top of that! As always, spring comes in with a bang!
Only two weeks to go until Mother’s Day and we’ve got you covered with our own farm-grown flowers (and gifts!) for all the moms in your life. Pre-order bouquets, arrangements, flower + book pairings, and even flower-inspired cookies! In addition to our usual hours (Wed – Sat, 10 – 4:30) we’ll be open the Sunday morning of Mother’s Day as well, from 10 – 1! (Then this tired mama will go home and crash!)
